I have collected images of shotshell ads from the earliest to about 1960. The art went to pot with the arrival of plastic shells.

Was just browsing and see where Remington has resurected "big blue" Peters 12 guage shells. Very well, but in this day and time of technology they used packaging that is tasteless and indicative of a "nerd" at the controls. Why not spend a few cents more and go back to the old nostalgic label./beagle

Remington tins, mugs, and gift packs from the late 70's and early 80's. CCI Christmas Ammo. Winchester WWII ammo from just a few years ago...
I would be happy with plain boxes and those prices.

I still can't believe some ammo maker doesn't have boxes like these...
HOLLYWOOD CollectorLeft hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!
I have seen some nice new boxes. I guess I should go find them and tell you who done it. They were cowboy ammo.

One way is to look for a child warning, this was not implemented until 1962. I’d guess boxes are 50’s, early 60’s maybe? I have several of the same..

Dude those are called “Bear” boxes and are worth a lot of money if original contents are there.

If you go back even older, they kind of simple. There was a short time for that beautiful artwork.
Pretty sure I have a box like that, full,of 12 ga. Shells . Is it collectable?
